Freewire= EVIL

[CubKid]

Basically thats it. Someone told me about it so I figured I'd give it a shot, but what I didnt realise is it was littered with spyware and is causing my computer to do all kinds of wierd un-fun stuff. I uninstalled the Freewire app itself and later the spyware associated with it, then I've been running adaware on a daily basis, but I still get problems, mainly IE crashing, Yahoo Messenger crashing, and even IE redirecting me to different sites. Has anyone else had these experiences with Freewire? I may be forced to reformat if I cant get it straighened out.

Have you tried sbybot?

Spybot

Yeah, and actually Adaware picked up more than spybot did. I'd uninstalled it assuming I set something wrong in it, since no images would load while surfing (even here at techimo and over at hardocp). I guess Im too lazy to reboot to let it remove the last 2 components. :P
